If you are considering buying a home in 2009 you might want to consider starting your home shopping during the Christmas Holiday.
Over the years I have noticed that there are far less 
buyers looking to buy a home during the winter holidays. Most people and families are way too busy during the holidays to even consider looking at buying a new home or condo. Because of this there are far less offers on real estate during the winter months than any other time of year.
Sellers start getting very anxious when fewer and fewer buyers come through there home the deeper we get into the holiday season. In high foreclosure and short sale areas like San Diego County the banks looking to get some assets off the books before 2008 is over will be looking at all offers.
I personally purchased a home several years ago during the Christmas Holidays and paid about $30,000 less than market value on a home in the low $200,000 range. The sellers were anxious and had already purchased a home in another state and were more than willing to accept my low offer. It was gain and worked out very well. If you considering buying in 2009 in the San Diego area you should consider looking now in 2008 and buying your home for Christmas. I couldn’t think of a better present.
